Many mothers are giving birth for the first time, and as novice mothers, they are still unfamiliar with how to take care of their babies. Sometimes we hear elders at home say that they need to urinate on their babies every once in a while, which is a kind of training for babies. So, what does "urinate" mean?
Both defecating and urinating are aimed at younger babies. Since babies cannot defecate and urinate independently when they are young, their reflex conditions have not yet developed. Therefore, parents need to assist their babies in urinating or defecating when they want to do so. This means holding the baby's legs with their arms and letting the baby squat to urinate and defecate.
Attention should also be paid to the practice of defecating and urinating. If done too early, it can be quite harmful to the baby, increasing the risk of anal prolapse and even causing the baby to lose consciousness or ability to urinate. The most serious thing is that it can damage the baby's spine and hip joint development. Therefore, if the baby is not yet 18 months old, try not to try this method.
After the baby grows up to a certain age, they will have a certain feeling for urination and defecation, and even send signals to notify the mother in advance. At this time, the baby can be trained appropriately, but the time should not be too long. When the baby is a little older, they can sit on the toilet bowl and urinate on their own.
